I have a DNR, but I also have a DNH (Do Not Harvest). My organs are mine, and I am taking them with me to the grave. It's not because I am a religious asshat like the OP. It is because I don't think humanity deserves to survive, and slicing up one person just to save another worthless human being is not worth the cost or effort.
Ugh, a VHE nut...your opinions are worthless.

it's hard to trust an article that also claims "most cancers are easily treated with low-cost herbs and nutritional therapies"..
LOL big understatement! That's when you hit Ctrl-W.
Huh, you learn something every day. I figured it was some kind of traditional new year celebration but wouldn't have guessed they actually use a different calendar system. That must make it a PITA to work with the outside world.

That would be an improvement, I've always agreed with the idea that politicians should be like race car drivers, and have to wear a uniform with their sponsors' names all over it.
Death can get a human being on Earth as easily as on Mars. And yes, space colonization does solve the human population problem, at least temporarily. I believe it to be of a much better design than some of the human population control schemes various parties are cooking up.
Not true. On Mars, it's just on the other side of a spacesuit or the bottom of an air tank. Don't take the atmosphere for granted.
This. I talk about theoretical terrorist attacks, malware ideas and black-hat legal/technical defense ideas all the time and I never say this, but in this case I will: DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS. AVOID DRUNK DRIVING CONVICTIONS BY NOT DRIVING DRUNK.
You would be correct if there were an ideology that advocated not working and living off of welfare. The act of receiving welfare only indicates that you don't have a job for some reason.
Actually the modern world has removed the selective pressures for this behavior, allowing those without such willingness to contribute to the common good to thrive. We call them libertarians.
Have the person turn 90 degrees in the scanner and do a second scan. The downsides are that this increases the time taken to scan, doubles the radiation dosage in the case of the X-ray type scanner, and it doesn't address the many other weaknesses of body scanning.
As for your example, sure we can live without cars for brief periods of time. Sometimes the roads are closed, you run out of gas, someone runs into the street waving their arms for you to stop, etc. I don't see automobile lovers freak out about those situations, so why does temporary loss of service cause such angst in technophiles?
A natural, normal and unavoidable event is different from selfish sabotage. If you used an EMP to shut down all the cars on your block because the noise disturbed you, people would be pissed.
You think mining anything from the moon and sending it to the ISS is cheaper than just launching it from Earth? You think bringing anything back from Mars could be profitable? You think space exploration is worth anything more than science (such a priority among governments these days!) and national dick-waving?
Barring some radical and far-off breakthroughs in space travel, the only material that could possibly be profitable to retrieve from anywhere outside the planet is He3 from the Moon, for use in fusion power. As long as we are pushing spaceships from A to B this won't change.
The places worth exploring from a scientific standpoint are Europa and Enceladus. I'd be shocked if there was no life on them. Mars, it's a barren desert, we'd be lucky to find anything in the nearly liquidless, radiation-scorched wasteland that spans the entire planet. Let the Chinese entertain us with manned missions to it while some smarter country - maybe the US - goes for the interesting stuff. Let them bring back more barren red soil while somebody smarter brings back alien life.
I'm not a Yank and I have trophies for my driving. I guarantee that if we both have crazy women walk out of the darkness in front of us on the highway I'll do a better job of dodging.

That there is an oxymoron. There are no high-quality F/OSS games.
Freespace series? Search & Rescue series? FlightGear? None of those are high-quality?
(I was also just checking the progress on Vdrift, screenshots look good now, I'll have to give it a try.)
Obviously a joke. 2 and 3 would never happen. The author is a delusional US right-winger who sees the UN as anti-corporate (LMAO!) and anti-American.

They'll stop the first time they see their booze bottles as screaming fanged monsters.
I think your clocks are off a bit.

I can't see anything impractical or horrifically energy-intensive about this system.
Nah I think I'll help destroy the MAFIAA instead. Mirrors +1!
Some modern games I've played that are bloody hard are DMC4 and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. Dunno about Demon's Souls, haven't played it.
Better than "80's arcade hard" 8-(

Looks at my name. You think my scores are low?

That's too rich for my blood but the batteries will be cheaper in the future. Today's average electric car batteries run about $10k.
Found an informative link on this:

I'd think painting it blue would be the best bet...if it hits Earth, it'll just bounce off!
